What is E85?
E85 is the
term for
motor fuel
blends of 85
percent
ethanol and
just 15
percent
gasoline. E85
is an
alternative
fuel as
defined by
the U.S.
Department of
Energy.
Besides its
superior
performance
characteristics,
ethanol burns
cleaner than
gasoline; it
is a
completely
renewable,
domestic,
environmentally
friendly fuel
that enhances
the nation's
economy and
energy
independence.
Today, the U.
S. imports
more than
half of its
oil, and
overall
consumption
continues to
increase. By
supporting
ethanol
production
and use, U.S.
drivers can
help reverse
that trend.
85% ethanol
can reduce
pollution.
Government
tests have
shown that
E85 vehicles
reduce
harmful
hydrocarbon
and benzene
emissions
when compared
to vehicles
running on
gasoline. E85
can also
reduce carbon
dioxide
(CO2), a
harmful
greenhouse
gas and a
major
contributor
to global
warming.
E-85 fuel is
available at
stations in
locations in
many states.
In Kansas,
you can
purchase E-85
fuel for your
flexible fuel
vehicle at
five locations.

Can I Use
E-85 in My
Vehicle?
E-85 fuel can
be used in
flexible fuel
vehicles (FFVs).
A
flexible fuel
vehicle is
able to
operate on
any
combination
of gasoline
and ethanol
up to 85
percent
ethanol. The
FFV system
allows the
driver to use
any
combination
of gasoline
or ethanol -
from 100
percent
unleaded
gasoline to
85 percent
ethanol.
E85 partners,
GMC,
DaimlerChrysler
and Ford all
produce
vehicles that
can run on
E85 or
gasoline when
E85 is
unavailable.
Ask for an
FFV at your
favorite
showroom - it
costs nothing
extra and may
just save you
a
bundle...since
your engine
may last
longer.
